After browsing various ways that people figure out to save money in the bad economy, I must say recession can be quite an impetus for people’s creativity. Though the recession is depressing, there is no reason to give up vocations or travel plan in any form. We deserve being happy in such gloomy climate. I want to share some of my experience and help you guys have a better trip.
If you are in Europe and America, it is a good time to go on an International trip. Swine flu may sound a little scary, but thanks for that, you can get cheaper air tickets and have your accommodation arranged at lower prices. Many countries, like China and Thailand, are striving to save the declining tourism threatened by the flu. As a result, traveling to these countries will be much less expensive. Of course you need to make sure you book the trip with some credible travel companies.

When travelling, in my opinion, you shouldn’t take your cell phone. If you travel in China, you can rent a phone. Now that we all have cell phones, we somehow think we can’t be out of touch for even a day, much less a week. The purpose of traveling is to get away, not to remain tethered to home. You don’t need to call home every day, and if you do, you’re not only wasting valuable vacation hours (not to mention money), but you are missing the point of the vacation. So check your email a couple of times, and maybe buy a phone card and call once if you’re away for more than a week. But leave the cell at home.
“wherever you go, travel to China, or the United States, take care of your cell phone if you take it while travelling because thieves are everywhere.”

It was my first time to travel alone since i went to college. Then, i am a freshman. I can’t remember very clearly what i saw at that time because four years had passed. But the smell, the feeling still live in my mind.
Yangzhou is heavenly, heavenly beautiful. The whole city is in full bloom. The smell of the wet, warm leaves is so strong. Hundreds of birds are singing unfamiliar songs on tree tops around us. At that moment, i had an optical illusion: i was in heaven!!!
There are so many disappointing things in life. And so many hardships that i can’t control. For me, travelling is to get away from the messes in my life. Maybe when i get back from travelling, i can face up to everything miserable.

Before you come to China to travel, you should take care of your money and values. Below is some tips you need to take notice.
Before travelling to China, organize a variety of ways to access your money overseas, such as credit cards, travelers’’ cheques, cash, debit cards or cash cards. Australian currency and travelers’cheques are not accepted in many countries. Consult with your bank to find out which is the most appropriate currency to carry and whether your ATM card will work overseas.
The Chinese Customs Administration requires that travelers carrying over US$6,000 (or equivalent in foreign currencies) in cash must declare it upon arrival in China. The declaration should be kept safely and shown to customs officials upon departure. Travelers who wish to depart China carrying between US$6,000 and US$10,000 (or equivalent in foreign currencies) should obtain permission from a Chinese bank to do so. When you travel to China, take note of this.

The Silk Road through China stretches from Xian in the Shaanxi Province through to Dunhuang. In ancient times, however, the Silk Road was not a single road, but a collection of hundreds of routes used by traders to form a network. These roads allowed effective trade between Europe, China, and Central Asia.
The description of what is known as the Silk Road today was adopted by a German scholar known as Baron Ferdinand von Richtofen. The road, outlined in the middle of the 19th century, passes through China’s Jade Gate and splits into four different directions.
There are, of course, several reasons to tour China’s Silk Road, each branch leading to Gansu, Shaanxi, Qinghai, or Xinjiang. Check out some of the pictures of our favorite Silk Road destinations.
